302 The Three Great Heroes (2/2)

”Don't tell me that you are shy about others seeing you in a statue because I have already seen that real size plush of you that Nurvey had in her room and that is far more embarrassing.”

When Yale was about to reply to the fact that no one told him about the statue, Revgen added that part letting Yale without any argument for refusing the decision. In fact, it was just as Revgen said, having a statue was far better than having real size plushies of himself, but the problem was that he had both.

Yale stopped thinking about statues and looked towards the people making preparations; there was one group that caught his attention because it was huge and mainly conformed by kids.

”Those are the kids rescued from the True Empire. They had some psychological damage, so we have been helping them this last year. Now that they have recovered it is time for them to return to their homes if those still exist or we can let them serve as apprentices of servants if they didn't have any place to go and wanted to remain here. However, before, they will act tomorrow to express their gratitude to Hyrk and the other members of the rescue team for saving their lives.”

Revgen saw that Yale was looking towards the kids, so he explained the whole situation to him.

Although all the members in the rescue group agreed to let Hyrk had the highest recognition due to his sacrifice, they still had some credit in the rescue operation.

At that moment, the kids were practicing with some of the teachers that had been helping them in the last year. Of course, the kids were the ones wanting to express their thanks; those teachers were only teaching them the procedures to do it as they were too many and without any coordination, it would have been too chaotic.

Among those teachers, Yale recognized Durgan and Birgh. The two of them felt so guilty for Hyrk's death that made them decide to help those kids until they could return to their normal lives, so both volunteered to act as the teachers of those kids.

”I will go to speak with them.”

Revgen nodded, and Yale teleported towards them. Revgen didn't want to meet those juniors, but he knew that Yale had some relationship with them, so he didn't oppose Yale's intentions.

Although all the kids and teachers seemed to be in one group from a distance, they were a bit separated in groups with two teachers with each group of children.

”It has been a long time, are you two doing well?”

Everyone in that group got scared when Yale suddenly appeared before them. Yale truly liked how he could teleport freely as long as he was inside the Imperial Palace.

”Yale?”

Durgan was also shocked, but he was the first in recognizing Yale because he was the one with the closest relationship with him of all the group.

”Yes, I am Yale. Don't tell me that you forgot me?”

Durgan quickly shocked his head.

”I don't dare; I was just shocked right now.”

Durgan knew about Yale's true identity as the reincarnation of the ancestor of the Larken Clan and the truth about who killed all the higher-ups of the True Empire, so he really felt respect towards him, and was thinking that he had entrusted his sister to the correct person.

”We haven't spoken since the special realm. It is a pleasure to meet you again.”

Although Birgh had heard how Yale announced the end of the war at the same time as Revgen and knew that he had a statue just at the side of the Emperor's statue, she didn't know Yale's true identity although knew that it should be quite special.

”That is true. I was too busy and didn't have time to visit you in the Tofesh Clan.”

Yale had a good impression of her due to her relationship with the crafter of his sword, Tofesh, and remembered that Liye saw Durgan and Birgh at the end of the war, but there wasn't any exchange of words between the two parties.

”Are you really one of the three great heroes of war?”

One of the kids in the group couldn't resist the impulse to speak because he had seen Yale's statue before and since the name also matched, the kid was sure that one of the three great heroes was in front of him, so he couldn't avoid asking in shock.

Revgen, Yale, and Hyrk, those three names were publicly known as the three great heroes of war. Hyrk for his sacrifice saving the kids, Revgen for his excellent command of the army and Yale for unknown reasons, but since Revgen announced that Yale's contribution was the highest and that the exact contributions couldn't be told because involved some secrets of war, the people didn't question too much.

Moreover, once it was known that the flying wolf that rescued Hyrk's corpse wasn't loyal to Revgen but to Yale, everyone thought that there was no way Yale was simple. Those thoughts confirmed when Yale's statue was placed in the same place of Revgen statue.

Revgen feared that telling that Yale was the one who eradicated the True Empire experts would provoke problems for him since his power would be lower after awakening and it would be difficult to believe for others.
